"We used to be the city of roses back in the 1900's and 20s and we're bringing back that beautiful history back to Broken Arrow. So this is the fourth garden we've planted in Broken Arrow,Ã¢ÂÂ said Beverly Forester, volunteer.

The group is also responsible for planting roses near the library and Centennial Park."

Cool--that they even have a rose society of some kind. My city has no rose groups, unfortunately.

Congrats to Broken Arrow, OKlahoma!

Wow, what a surprise. This is my city. The roses are beautiful, but I am not sure about how the group of people got together. I am glad they. Their organization is more about making the downtown area beautiful than it is about roses. The roses that I saw are all in raised beds, and line the street.

The Tulsa Rose Society is still the rose society for this area. We have our meeting tomorrow, and I am going to ask about this group. Thanks for finding this article, Henry.
